Employability Skills

Commitment to excellence

Being passionate about what you do will help you deliver the best results. It's important to find out what skills and experience potential employers are looking for so that you can share your examples of how you've demonstrated these.

You may be the sort of person who goes above and beyond expectations in your part-time job, during a work experience placement, or in a voluntary role. Perhaps you came up with a great idea on how to make a business or event more successful? Or maybe you were the one who organised an event when no one else wanted to? The key thing is come up with examples that demonstrate you are prepared to go the extra mile for other people.
